Another year, another Final Four filled with veteran-led teams. While that is not always the case and teams like 2012 Kentucky and 2015 Duke have won titles behind star freshmen, it is certainly not the norm.
During a Final Four press conference on Friday, Kansas Jayhawks coach Bill Self was asked about how difficult it is, “even the best coaches, like Cal and like Coach K,” to essentially start over with new rosters each year.
“I can’t speak to what they think or everything,” Self said. “But I know personally, with me, I think the best teams are the ones that your most talented kids are your youngest kids but your foundation is always your upperclassmen.
